Is Gabapentin making my teeth yellow?

6 Replies

Hi folks, I have a chronic back problem and for that I take Gabapentin 500mg x 4 daily and Co-codamol 30/500 x 4 daily. I also take Omeprazole, Atorvastatin, Nebivolol and Rivaroxaban, the last two being for an abnormal heart rhythm. Just recently I have noticed that my teeth have become rather yellow, my mouth is constantly dry and I'm having problems with acid reflux. Could this be the Gabapentin or is it one of the others? I have read recently about someone else on Gabapentin having the same problem. Thanks.

It could be the fact that you are taking multiple medications and there are side effects from the multiple meditations which would not happen if you were taking just one meditation.

Thanks John. Yes, that's probably true. I have, however, worked out my withdrawal from Gabapentin, slowly, by 100mg every three days. I can't really do much about the others although I am hopeful that the Nebivolol and Rivaroxaban may be stopped in a few months after a successful ablation for AF in September. Watch this space!

Vitamin D deficiency makes your teeth yellow, get checked. Ignore John Smith, he thinks conventional medication isn't the way to deal with pain.

Thanks Jayne. I will look into that. Yes, I have seen a lot of John's posts and know the score.

The best person to ask would be a pharmacist. They are better than GPs at knowing about the interactions between drugs and what they might be.
